Abstract Long-wave infrared (LWIR, 6–14 µm) processes enormous potential for chem/biosensing as it covers abundant molecular absorption fingerprints. Waveguides provide an attractive chip-scale miniaturization solution for optical sensors. However, the exploration of waveguide sensors in this wavelength range is limited. Here, an LWIR photonic platform for fast and sensitive on-chip gas sensing is developed using suspended silicon (Si) waveguide supported by subwavelength grating (SWG) metamaterial claddings. This platform provides a viable approach to fully exploit the transparency window of Si. The SWG structure provides a promising solution to engineer the mode profile for strong light–analyte interaction. Propagation loss and bending loss are studied in the broad wavelength range of 6.4–6.8 µm. Functional devices including grating couplers, Y-junctions, and directional couplers are also demonstrated with high performance. Sensing demonstration based on our platform is presented using toluene vapor detection as an example. The corresponding limit of detection reaches 75 ppm. The response and recovery time to 75 ppm toluene are about 0.8 and 3.4 s, respectively. This good performance makes our platform a promising candidate for on-site medical and environmental applications.

This study describes the development of a prototype bi-spectral microbolometer sensor system designed explicitly for radiometric measurement and characterization of wildfire mid- and long-wave infrared radiances. The system is tested experimentally over moderate-scale experimental burns coincident with FLIR reference imagery. Statistical comparison of the fire radiative power (FRP; W) retrievals suggest that this novel system is highly reliable for use in collecting radiometric measurements of biomass burning. As such, this study provides clear experimental evidence that mid-wave infrared microbolometers are capable of collecting FRP measurements. Furthermore, given the low resource nature of this detector type, it presents a suitable option for monitoring wildfire behaviour from low resource platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or nanosats.
